"Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving, it doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come."
Rumi
So long I have perceived myself as separate, apart and experiencing this life as a solitary being. Yes, there have been little inroads to oneness and to wholeness along the way. And more so now these past months as I read the Tao.
Like ripples in a pond, a word, a glance, a seemingly small gesture, radiates out and where it touches and who it touches and how it touches another human heart cannot be known. This web of life encompasses all: every creature, every plant, every mountain and star.
Our hearts that know life, give life, give love, give kindness, give compassion and give joy.
Let our beings soar in the knowledge that we are of a piece, an interwoven fabric, whose threads are many but of one pattern, simple, harmonious and whole.
